He didn't ask that sentence in the end, because he felt her cold fingers trembling slightly at this time, and those panic emotions that could not be concealed were like being forced to recall some cruel memories, painful and frightening.
My heart suddenly felt cold
. He stood up suddenly and let her go.
Su Li immediately pulled up the brocade quilt and wrapped her half-naked body tightly, strongly suppressing the trembling of her body and mind. She shrank aside and looked up coldly at the tall, dark figure. Although he had rescued her many times and never committed any infringement, he was still a vague, deep and gloomy shadow in her heart.
No one could understand how scared she felt in her heart at this moment. Being raped by the man she liked was the pain of her life, and she never wanted to experience it a second time!
"I thought you had me in your heart!" The low and hoarse male voice was full of disappointment. Her cold and fearful resistance stung his heart. She thought that after experiencing many things together, she already had him in her heart and would no longer reject him so much, but unexpectedly, her reaction was still the same as in the hot spring pool. Dongfangze couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Su Li's eyes moved slightly, but his tone was cold: "Your Majesty's behavior doesn't seem like he has me in his heart!"
Dongfang Ze said: "If I have you in my heart, how should I treat you? Stay far away from you, and run away when I see you?" His thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.
Su Li pursed her lips and did not answer, lowering her eyes lightly, trying her best to calm down the panic in her heart.
Dongfangze glanced at her with dark eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I will touch a woman I don't like? Or do you think I am the kind of despicable person who will use force on women?" Originally He didn't intend to do anything excessive. It was just that after touching her, he couldn't help but want more, which led to the situation developing to this point. And her reaction at the time was clearly not disgusting, but why did she suddenly become fiercely resentful in the end? It seemed like he was using force on her! A feeling of depression suddenly arose in my heart.
Su Li lowered her head. She knew he was not that kind of person, otherwise she would have been innocent in the mountains behind Zhuli Valley. But the feeling of being unable to break free just now frightened her.
Tightening the quilt tightly, she slowly moved to the wall, her thin back pressed tightly against the cold wall, as if only in this way could she find a sense of security.
She doesn't speak.
Dongfang Ze looked at her movements and frowned. That self-protective and resisting posture all showed indescribable vulnerability. He was slightly shocked. This was the first time he had seen this emotion from her, as if There was a feeling that deep inside her heart, there was a wound hidden that no one else could see!
His heart suddenly softened, and he stretched out his hand to hold her slender body in his arms, but before he raised his hand, she had already shrunk warily, as if the fleeting vulnerability just now was just his. illusion
.
Dongfang Ze laughed at himself and wisely gave up his plan to hold her in his arms. He tilted his body and leaned lazily on the bed rail behind him. He sighed helplessly: "Su Su, why do you just refuse to admit it?" ?" The woman who was in this inn that night was clearly her!
Su Li was slightly startled, but there was no emotion on her face. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What does the prince want me to admit?" That she was actually Li Su who had borrowed a corpse to return to life? Even if he didn't believe it when the dead asked him to dream, it was even weirder than the dead asking for a dream, and no one would believe it if he told it! What's more, the relationship between her and him is not yet at the point where they can be honest about everything! And Su Li, who had not stepped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in sixteen years, should not have been here. Otherwise, the many questions that followed would not be explained at all. She simply pretended to be confused and refused to admit it. What could he do to her
Naturally, Dongfang Ze had no way to deal with her. His guess was just based on his feelings and had no real evidence. And she was so defensive that she seemed determined not to tell the truth. In this case, his mind changed and he suddenly smiled and said: "Father gave you the last three days, how do you plan to delay it this time?"
The topic changed so quickly that Su Li couldn't keep up with her thoughts, and she didn't expect that he would let her go so easily! … procrastination? He saw her clearly, but it was a pity that the selection of a husband this time could not be delayed no matter what!
Since she had to choose, and she didn't want to get married so soon, she had to find a way as soon as possible.
A sudden breeze blew open the open window, and the dim moonlight came in, making the room immediately brighter. The two were sitting on a couch, almost close enough to see each other's faces clearly. It was only that night, with no moonlight and the windows tightly closed, that the two of them could not recognize each other's faces.
Su Li raised her head and glanced at him lightly. In the darkness, his eyes were like stars, shining brightly. His face had faded away, and his expression was rare and gentle. There was still a faint trace of blood remaining on the lip where she had bitten it, which was breathtaking in the pale moonlight.
Su Li's breathing stagnated slightly, and she suddenly thought, is it the dream of every woman in the world to marry such a person? He is handsome, noble, intelligent, and so perfect that there are almost no flaws! He has always been dismissive of women, but he treats her differently, helping her many times, and getting close to her from time to time. If it were another woman, she would have been trapped in his ambiguous love network, and she would like to marry her immediately. He is good! But... why is she so scared and uneasy
Her eyebrows were furrowed, and some answers were ready to come out, but she didn't want to think about it deeply. In the air, a faint fragrance lingered and floated, and something suddenly moved in her heart. By the way, the poison of love flowers
!
Her eyes suddenly lit up, she stared thoughtfully, and slowly asked him: "Your Majesty, do you want to remove the poison from your body?"
Hearing her suddenly mention this, Dongfangze was stunned for a moment and looked at her intently, his eyes indescribably deep and sharp. Asked: "Do you have any idea?"
Su Li loosened the quilt wrapped around her body, gently gathered her open clothes, and did not answer immediately.
Dongfangze didn't rush her, as if he knew that her focus was not the poison in his body, he looked at her calmly, calmly.
Su Li quickly thought about all the possibilities she could think of. Although there were risks, there was no other choice. She must leave a way out for herself!
The love flower poison in Li Su's body was brought out from her mother's womb, so Su Li knew a lot about this poison. The love flower poison is very rare and difficult to cure. Although it does not seal the throat at the sight of blood, it has a great impact on martial arts practitioners.
That night, she didn't mean to poison him. It was just that she had been poisoned by the rhizome of the love flower since she was a child. She had to go to Foguang Temple every year to take a special medicinal bath. That day, as soon as she went to Foguang Temple, she got married because the emperor granted her a marriage. I was summoned back by my mother and concubine urgently, and I got poisoned on the way, so I had to find this inn to take a bath for treatment.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly jumped into the medicine pool with his seriously injured body, and the poison of the love flower that had just been forced out of her body seeped into his blood. Fortunately, the poison is not serious. As long as he pays attention to the exercise, his skill is only 80%, so he should be fine for the time being. But what kind of person is Dongfangze? Even if his life is not in danger, he will never allow trouble to remain in his body! But when she mentioned it now, he looked calm, as if he didn't care at all!
She frowned slightly and said: "The poison of the love flower is divided into flowers and stems. The poisons are different but mutually reinforcing. It may not be harmful to ordinary people, but it will be very bad for people who practice martial arts. The higher the martial arts, The more dangerous the poison attacks, the meridians throughout the body will reverse, and it can range from going crazy to being possessed, or in severe cases, the meridians will be severed and life will be at risk!" She deliberately emphasized the consequences of the poison and paid close attention to the changes in his expression.
However, Dongfangze's expression remained as usual, and his lazy posture, leaning between the bedrails, showed no change in emotion at all.
So calm, he is indeed King Zhenning! Su Li smiled lightly and said: "... Judging from the prince's expression, he doesn't seem to care. Could it be that the prince doesn't want to cure this strange poison?"
Dongfang Ze raised his eyes and smiled: "Of course I want to!"
Su Li raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and asked in a deep voice, "Does the prince believe that I can find the antidote?"
Dongfang Ze narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
. His eyes changed so fast that no one had time to see clearly. As if he was dissatisfied with her serious negotiation attitude, he suddenly reached out and pulled her over.
Su Li was unprepared and exclaimed, immediately falling into his arms. Her soft breasts hit his strong chest, causing some pain. She raised her head angrily and tried to get up, but his powerful palms held her waist. She had no choice but to put her hands on her breasts, trying to distance herself from him, but in such a posture, her arms caged him, and her black hair fell like a waterfall, brushing against his handsome face, making her look even worse. It's like she pounced on him and wanted to do something to him. The ambiguity makes people blush and make their hearts beat.
Su Li suddenly felt powerless and a little annoyed, but the man beneath her was looking sharply at this moment, as if he wanted to penetrate her face and see into her heart. Su Li couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in her heart. She quickly stopped her random thoughts and listened to him say slowly: "Su Su is indeed very capable. He actually knows a lot about this secret poison of the royal family of Bian Kingdom. I am really curious about you." How to get the antidote to this love flower?"
Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and she intuitively felt that his eyes were full of smiles, and it seemed that he was not scolding, but rather affirming.
"How can I get it? Your Majesty doesn't need to ask any more. In short, Su Li has a way. As long as Your Majesty agrees..."
"What if I don't agree?" His expression didn't change at all, and he said it so easily, as if it was just a joke.
Like a bucket of cold water being poured down on her head, Su Li was stunned for a moment. She immediately forgot about the ambiguous gesture between them and was speechless for a moment.
Dongfang Ze said in a deep voice: "Once Father's decree is issued, it will never be changed. You have already broken the rule twice. If you are greedy again, the consequences will be disastrous!" The low voice sounded like a warning, but also like a well-meaning gesture. remind.
Su Li naturally understood what he meant, and immediately nodded and said: "I know this very well. So you can rest assured, I will not force others to do anything."
"Oh?" Dongfang Ze seemed to be surprised. He raised his hand and gently stroked her black hair hanging in front of his eyes. His soft eyes stared at her face for a moment, "In this case, let me tell you your conditions. .”
Su Li really wanted to negotiate with him seriously, but his ambiguous eyes and the way he was stroking her hair... were really provocative! Su Li couldn't help but feel hot all over, and tried to calm down, looking at him and saying: "As the prince said, in three days, it is inevitable to choose a husband, but now... I don't want to get married yet! So I want to ask the prince... In the name of keeping filial piety, I postponed the wedding for two years."
The implication is very clear
. She wants to choose him, but she doesn’t want to marry him right away! Dongfangze's eyes darkened slightly, and he stared at her with unclear expression, becoming more urgent.
It has just been a year since the death of Concubine Liang. Although the status of a concubine is different from that of the mother of the country, and her descendants do not need to observe filial piety for three years, Dongfangze has a reputation as a filial son, which is known to the world. If he can use this name to request the emperor to postpone the marriage, It shouldn’t be difficult! As long as he wants.
Dongfang Ze originally had the same plan. The death of his mother and concubine was a huge blow to him. As a human son, it was natural for him to observe mourning for his deceased mother for three years. But when she said this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. She seems to be afraid of marrying him? In other words, she is afraid of marrying anyone!
"Then?" he asked calmly. He would not be so naive as to think that she would choose him as her husband by throwing out the detoxification bait, and then just extend the marriage without any conditions. She wasn't stupid enough to let him take advantage of her.
Su Li replied: "My request is very simple. If I want to terminate the engagement within two years, the prince must fully cooperate!"
The hand that was stroking the black hair suddenly stopped. The man's eyes narrowed, and a frightening coldness flashed across his eyes.
"You want to take advantage of me?" The cold voice revealed the displeasure in his heart. Dongfangze reached out and grabbed her fair arm, pulling her in front of him.
The dangerous message spread instantly, filling the entire room.
Su Li's heart trembled, and he quickly smiled and said: "The prince said something serious! How dare Su Li take advantage of the prince? You and I each get what we need. This is just a transaction. Two years, whether it is long or short, Su Li Li just wants to spend some more time so that you and I can get to know each other, so that we can determine whether the other person is the one we want to spend our lives with!"
Without the support of her arms, she lay uncontrollably on his chest. The powerful heartbeat that came from the man's chest was three times more intense than usual. At this time, her heartbeat was also beating like a drum. She didn't know what kind of answer she wanted to hear from him deep down in her heart.
"Together for the rest of our lives..." He looked startled and read these four words in a low voice, his eyes suddenly full of deep thought. Looking at her, he asked thoughtfully: "What kind of person does Su Su want to spend her life with?"
Su Li was stunned. She hadn't thought about this question carefully. At least, she hadn't been testing him everywhere so that people couldn't figure out how sincere he was, let alone how much weight she held in his heart. A ray of cool breeze blew in from the window, and it seemed to blow into her heart. She pursed her lips and did not answer.
Dongfangze asked again with deep eyes: "Do you think that the marriage granted by your father can be easily terminated with just a word from you and me?"
Of course she knew it wasn't
! Su Li lowered his eyes, raised his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, are you afraid that I will get in trouble in the future? Your Majesty, you can rest assured. If the marriage really needs to be dissolved in the future, Su Li will come up with a perfect plan that will not cause Your Majesty to suffer any losses. !”
She said it with absolute certainty, as if the dissolution of the engagement was imminent, Dongfangze's heart sank inexplicably, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"What if I don't agree?" He frowned at her.
Su Li looked directly at him and said, "Then I have no choice but to go find King Jing'an!"
Dongfangze's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the big palm around her waist tightened suddenly, as if to punish her for having unwanted thoughts. "Are you threatening me?"
Su Li raised his head and said: "The prince is serious! Since it is a choice, naturally the prince is not the only one!... Although King Jing'an has no excuse to observe filial piety, with his ability, if he wants to extend it for a year and a half, there will definitely not be a big problem! "
Dongfang Ze said: "Are you sure that he will definitely agree to you?"
Su Li smiled and said, "As long as I ask him for help in the name of Princess Mingyu, he will definitely agree!" She was very confident, and everyone could see that Dongfang felt extremely guilty and regretful about Li Su's matter, but she didn't want to be with him. That person has too many entanglements.
Dongfang Ze's face was gloomy, his expression was cold, and his eyes held her tightly, "I thought that you would not take the risk of marrying him!" If it cannot be resolved, there is only one outcome! And he always felt that she didn't like Dongfang Zhuo, and even had inexplicable resentment! Although she always tried her best to hide it, he could still feel it clearly, so he never really worried about it during the husband selection banquet.
Su Li smiled and said: "If you have no choice, even if you don't want to, you still have to give it a try. There is at least half a year left. ... In half a year, as long as you work hard enough, you can change a lot of things. For example, my identity and status!"
There was no choice... Dongfang Ze felt a pain in his heart unconsciously, and his expression became extremely complicated. After looking at her for a long time, his eyes gradually softened. He took her hand and held her cold fingers tightly. His expression was a bit helpless, and he sighed: "Susu, marriage is not a transaction!"
This sentence shocked Su Li's heart, "This sentence coming from the prince's mouth is really... incredible!"
Historically, any marriage between princes did not involve interests and was not considered a transaction? Especially a prince like him who is favored by the emperor and has the ambition to compete for the crown prince's position.
! She tried her best to find traces of hypocrisy in his eyes, but after looking for a long time, she could only see a hint of vague distress in his eyes. She quickly looked away, as if she was afraid that she would be moved by love at this moment and give in easily.
Dongfangze obviously heard the ridicule in her words, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "In Su Su's eyes, the prince has to rely on women to win over the ministers in order to consolidate his power? But in the eyes of this king, Here, truly capable people will have people who are willing to loyal and support them, so why use women as stepping stones to ascend to power!"
He was so confident, almost arrogant.
Su Li was shocked in her heart and looked at him in surprise, "The prince has such confidence, it's really admirable! ... The prince is right, marriage is indeed not a transaction, but if it is not the marriage you want, it is worse than a transaction!"
Dongfang Ze was startled, "What kind of marriage does Su Su want?"
Back to this question again! The marriage she wants is of course love and trust... No, there is another one, loyalty! The lesson of the Jade Concubine is a good example. A man who has three wives and four concubines is destined to have no peace in his family. In love and marriage, if a man and a woman truly love each other, why can't they be loyal to each other
"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask. You can't give it even if I tell you." She lowered her eyelashes and her eyes dimmed.
Dongfangze frowned and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, how do you know that I can't give it to you?"
Su Li shook his head. In this patriarchal world, asking a man to be loyal to a woman is like a joke! She still remembered that on the night when he walked out of the destroyed Shenmen secret passage, when he mentioned the relationship between Concubine Liang and the current Emperor Sheng, he once said that "the emperor's kindness is as cold as paper", and he might be Sheng Guo The future emperor!
"In the eyes of the prince, what is the most important thing in marriage?" She asked without answering, her tone sounding ordinary.
Dongfangze thought for a while and then said: "Love, understand."
There is no loyalty. Su Li's heart sank slightly, she felt a little ridiculous that she still expected something from him despite knowing it for a long time. So she laughed at herself. However, at this moment, Dongfang Ze pondered and said again: "And loyalty!"
Su Li was stunned and looked at him in shock. If he hadn't looked serious, she would have almost thought she heard wrong. Loyalty... Her father loved her mother and concubine enough, but why didn't he marry Yu Linglong as his concubine? For sixteen years, in her impression, although the mother-in-law was alienated from others, she never felt sorry for Concubine Yu and Li Yao. However, Concubine Yu was so vicious, which shows how terrible a woman's jealousy is.
!
Dongfangze noticed her suspicion, sighed softly, and put her head close to his chest, as if to prove his mood at the moment with the sound of his heartbeat. He hugged her and said, "Susu, you can try to believe me!"
The unprecedented gentle tone revealed endless affection and touched the depths of her heart.
Su Li didn't struggle. For a moment, she really wanted to believe him. Close your eyes, put your cold face close to his strong chest, listen to his strong heartbeat, and your heart, which has always been floating, seems to have settled down at this moment.
Dongfangze stroked her soft hair with his hands, and his heart became soft. He sighed in a low voice: "Susu, I can agree to your request. But I also have a request."
Su Li didn't open her eyes, and whispered to his chest: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Dongfang Zedao: "You can terminate the engagement within two years, but you must tell me the reason why you want to terminate the engagement! If you can't find a reason to terminate the engagement within two years, you will always be my king in the future. My wife! Don’t have any second thoughts!”
Forever wife... Su Li was startled for a moment, looked up at him, and saw that his face was solemn and his eyes were serious as never before.
She nodded subconsciously. Two years should be enough time to determine each other's feelings.
"You...are you promising me?"
Dongfangze smiled and said: "I promise. In two years, Susu, you will definitely become the princess of my King Zhenning. In the future, when I ascend the throne, you will also be the queen of my Sheng Kingdom. I, Dongfangze, am the only one." Queen." His gentle and firm tone was full of doting.
Su Li was stunned involuntarily, but her heart was beating wildly. only! Is this a promise he made to her? But she didn't dare to believe such a promise easily.
He stood up and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. It was like a dragonfly touching water, but it was far better than the passionate and domineering kiss just now. Su Li's heart was in chaos.
This night, the passion recedes, the gentleness and quietness are good. Her and his fate are entangled. This moment is the real beginning...
